I had never seen Gundul threaten or assault a woman, although he frequently charged male assistants.
The cook was screaming hysterically.
I thought, 'He's trying to kill her.'
I began to realize that Gundul did not intend to harm the cook, but had something else in mind.
The cook stopped struggling. 'It's all right,' she murmured.
She lay back in my arms, with Gundul on top of her.
Gundul was very calm and deliberate.
He raped the cook.
As he moved rhythmically back and forth, his eyes rolled upward to the heavens.
I was in shock.
Gundul let the cook go, stood up, and soundlessly, moved off the feeding platform into the trees.
It was over just like that.

... visitor to take
the dugout back to Camp Leakey for help. My repeated blows
had no effect on Gundul; but neither did he fight back very
aggressively. I began to realize that Gundul did not intend
to harm the cook, but had something else in mind. The cook
stopped struggling. "It's all right," she murmured. She lay
back in my arms, with Gundul on top of her. Gundul was
very calm and deliberate. He raped the cook. As he moved
rhythmically back and forth, his eyes rolled upward to the
heavens. I was in shock. I felt as though this were happening
to other people somewhere else, and I was watching from a distance. I have no idea how much time passed.
